The fine folks at the Intrepid Bag Company have debuted two new leather tech bags that we think our readers would be interested in. The husband and wife team of Stephen & Tiffani have partnered with our friends at Pad & Quill, and have created a messenger bag that’s perfect for carting around your MacBook Pro and anything else you need to get through your travels, along with a beautiful purse with a Lara Croft vibe that’s perfect for carrying an iPad mini and your daily necessities.
Lillium Purse
The Lillium is a European styled hands-free belt, cross body, and side purse made from the most durable and gorgeous top grain leather around. It can easily accommodate an iPad Mini (or similar sized tablet) in its microsuede lined pocket. If Lara Croft carried an iPad Mini, this is how she would do it. The 4 compartments give you room to tote around a 7” tablet, smartphone, battery pack, cords, headphones, make up, credit cards, and more.
There are three versatile ways to wear the Lillium: Cross-Hip, Cross-Body, and Classic Shoulder Purse Style. A nice feature we really like about the Lillium, is the hidden Passport and money pocket on the back. Very nice.
Lillium Features:
- Slim design can be worn on hips, shoulders, or cross-body
- Extra-thick top grain purse leather
- Marine grade nylon stitching (used in parachute construction)
- Solid steel hardware
- Magnetic closure
- Micro-suede iPad Mini pocket
- Zippered iPhone pocket
- Hidden passport pocket
- 3 Credit card slots
- 3 pen / stylus holders
- 10 year leather warranty
The Lillium Purse is available at the Intrepid Bag Company website for $139.
Journeyman Messenger
The Journeyman is a cross-body minimalist messenger bag made from high-end, full-grain, Latigo Saddle Leather. Featuring an innovative laptop suspension technology for a 13″ laptop and iPad that gently cradles your tech, lifting it away from your back, allowing the bag to conform to you and not your stuff. The more you put in it the more comfortable it becomes!
The Journeyman’s unique styling and fit makes it a true stand out with its 2″ padded side-mounted strap that disperses weight evenly across your shoulders and stays in place perfectly.
Journeyman Features:
- Cross-body messenger design
- Side mounted 2″ padded strap
- Rugged full-grain Latigo Saddle Leather
- Marine grade nylon stitching (used in parachute construction)
- Solid steel hardware
